***** Mt. McBean *****
A reminder to all club members that this Saturday's scheduled hike is to Mt. McBean. This is NOT an Easy Hike as there is a substantial change in elevation (hey...it's not called Mount McBean for nothing). We will meet in the parking lot at 10 am as usual. Car pooling will be the order of the day and passengers are asked to contribute to their driver's gas fund. Drivers, please remember that there is a fee for parking at McBean Harbour, though the exact amount is a bit vague...count on $5.00 per car. In other words, bring money. This is a longer than normal outing, and we hope to return to EL by 3pm.
See you on the trail !

Leisure Hike, Dumbell Lake, May 13
Commentary and photos by Allan R.
Al and Charlotte led 8 members on a leisurely walk from the gate on Milliken Mine Rd. into Dumbell Lake and then on to Westner or Spillane Lake (depending on which map you look at). On the descent to Westner Lake the group in the lead witnessed a large male bear in full gallop across the roadway, within 50 feet of them. Sadly, no photo record of that encounter. PHOTOS

Photos by Allan R. and Astrid T.
May 11 was the perfect day for Gerry J. to lead us on an Easy Hike to Puddingstone Falls because spring is apparently over now. Sunshine, no bugs, great company, spectacular scenery; it just doesn't get any better. PHOTOS
